Hidetaka Miyazaki started the Soulslike franchise and gave fans what they had never expected they would see. A bunch of games that they can go back to again and again. It was no surprise that they were then followed by a bunch of other developers in creating similar experiences. But one game did it quite uniquely; that game wasRemnant: From the Ashes.
Developed by Gunfire Games, this title had everything that Soulslike fans appreciated about their beloved genre. But they also made a number of changes to that old formula. They made it a third-person shooter. It was so successful that the developers also released a sequel,Remnant 2. Recently, this game’s makers talked about how they assured their title would remain fun to play for their fans for a long time.
Remnant 2developers discuss the game’s longevity and difficulty
Everyone knowsHidetaka Miyazakihas a knack for challenging his fans with incredibly hard games. It’s pretty evident that many gamers all over the world would find it pretty hard to even clear the first boss in those games.
Remnant 2 Won’t Repeat 1 Hidetaka Miyazaki Mistake That is Every FromSoftware Game’s Harshest Criticism
From Asylum Demon ofDark Soulsto Cleric Beast ofBloodborne, the difficulty has been a trademark for soulslike games. Yet they remain fun enough; getting killed and then trying again and again has become the charm of these games.
But not everyone wants to do this—grinding for hours, trying the same boss again and again—these things are not everyone’s cup of tea. Hence, they go around looking for similar yet more forgiving experiences. That’s when many fans came acrossRemnant: From the Ashes.
It’s an incredible third-person shooter that brings machine guns, hand grenades, and sniper rifles to the world of soulslike games. It is also a bit more forgiving than your usual soulslike fare; there’s no argument about the fact that gamers would find this game more approachable than any FromSoftware game out there.
That’s why the developer of Gunfire Games was able to confidently craft a sequel for it too. It became equally successful, and it’s also getting a DLC calledThe Forgotten Kingdom. While talking about this new DLC, the developers went ahead and talked about their game and how they made sure players would havea much better experience with it.
“[It’s about] ensuring the game’s longevity, right? … It’s about the shelf-life of the game. We’re not a live service game, but we want to make sure that our product can stay timeless and relevant for what it is, so people can just go in there and have a good time.”
This way, level designer Cindy took a jab at those live service games that give players certain tools but either keep their space limited or lock them behind level requirements.Remnant 2gives players the ability to customize multiple load-outs and use them as they wish.

This is truly incredible. In times when people cannot even customize their character without spending some money, a developer is allowing fans to create custom loadouts. It’s the bare minimum, but that’s what’s required nowadays.
FromSoftware never compromised on the difficulty part
A bunch of gamers had let their disappointment know about the fact that FromSoftware never releases their games with difficulty settings. Those games are released with intended difficulty, and then they punish unprepared gamers.

On the other hand, they too do not block their games behind some unusual requirements. But they make their usage a bit believable. Players can use some weapons only when they have certain stats; they are free to build up to those stats from the moment they start their games. It feels a bit more natural this way.
